#RevolveRecipes – Christmas Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are everywhere these days, they’re most definitely having a moment! Their health benefits seem to be endless, and they can be used in a whole host of recipes. Have you heard of Health Ambition? It’s a really great site aimed at empowering people with the knowledge to make smarter, healthier choices in their lives. They too realize the benefits of chia seeds, so much so that we have used some of their outstanding content in the post below. We came across this recipe from The Minimalist Baker for an Overnight Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding some time ago, and we felt it would be the perfect Christmas treat! It looks too good to eat, and it’s healthy enough to have for breakfast! A win-win…

Add all ingredients except sweetener to a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. If not blending, sweeten to taste with maple syrup at this time. If blending, you can sweeten later with maple syrup or dates.

Let rest covered in the fridge overnight or at least 3-5 hours (or until it’s achieved a pudding-like consistency).

If blending, add to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Sweeten to taste.

Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 2-3 days, though best when fresh.

Serve chilled with desired toppings, such as fruit, granola, or yoghurt.

How delicious does this simple pudding look? And what’s more, it’s vegan-friendly and gluten free, so suits those with specific dietary requirements! Make your own version at home and let us know how you get on!
